In the afternoon we will visit the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, imposing monuments built by the Moche culture, ancestors of the Chimu, where in their friezes you can appreciate the rich mythology that enveloped this people. These "pyramids" or "huacas" are huge adobe buildings built in the 5th century, with countless tombs and polychrome murals representing their deity Ai Apaec. It is believed that both pyramids were complementary, one for administrative purposes and the other more for religious purposes. Overnight in Trujillo.

Day 3: TRUJILLO - CHAN CHAN

During our tour we will visit the monumental area and the entrance to the Tschudi Palace, which in its 11.5 hectares of extension shows us all the splendor and splendor of one of the most advanced civilizations of its time, through the management of its spaces, the exquisite beauty of its friezes and the solidity of its constructions.

Free afternoon for personal activities. Overnight in Trujillo.

Day 4: TRUJILLO - EL BRUO / CHICLAYO - HUACA RAJADA (LORD OF SIPAN)

Breakfast at the hotel. At the coordinated time we will pick you up from your hotel and drive along the Panamericana Norte, crossing extensive sugar cane plantations to reach the Huaca Cao Viejo of the archaeological complex El Brujo, an important ceremonial center where through the iconographic language expressed in its polychrome murals, the past tells us about the rituals practiced by the Moche culture. El Brujo owes its name to the constant affluence of the so-called sorcerers or northern healers (shamans) to this place, who performed and still perform healing ceremonies in mountains or pre-Hispanic ruins such as Huaca Cao Viejo, considering that in these places there are remarkable sources of energy.

Thus, being an important ceremonial center, the main constructions of "El Brujo" were made to worship the gods, and the ornamentation of the same, show representations of ritual scenes and dedication to their main divinities.

Similarly, the high reliefs on the walls of the temple (Huaca Cao Viejo) show a variety of themes, from everyday images to representations of sacred figures as the inevitable image of the "Decapitator", a supernatural image, anthropomorphic and with feline features found in the main front, which would be the representation of the main Mochica deity, the god Ai Apaec.

Then we will continue our excursion to the archaeological complex of Huaca Rajada, located 28 kilometers from the city of Chiclayo. There we will be able to observe two large and eroded pyramidal structures joined by a funerary platform, where the same environments where the tombs of the Lord of Sipan, the Priest and the Old Lord of Sipan were discovered are preserved.

It was 1987, when the tomb of the most famous of them all was found, that of the Lord of Sipan, one of the main attractions of this place due to the importance and excellent state of preservation in which it was found. Along with this, samples of gold work were found (especially funerary masks), and numerous pieces that covered his skeleton, such as the pectoral, bracelets, the scepter of command, in addition to clothing and gold jewelry. After the excursion, transfer to the city of Chiclayo and overnight.

The exhibition shows us the hierarch together with his valuable jewels, some Moche warrior tombs and important gold pieces, the result of the hard work done by the Peruvian archaeologist Walter Alva.

The architecture of the Museum is inspired by the ancient Mochica Sanctuaries, where platforms and ramps are combined, resulting in being considered one of the best museums in South America. Return to Chiclayo and overnight.
